Mason jar terrariums are the perfect project to get kids into gardening. They are easy to make and even easier to care for. Plus you can create a fantasy fairy or gnome garden to spark little imaginations and green thumbs.
You can make your own terrarium with things you probably have around the house: an old jar or glass, and a spare toy figurine. Add natural elements like pebbles, seashells, pinecones, twigs and moss. Pick up a small succulent at the green market or florist (or take a clipping from one you already have), and you'll be all set to make your own little world.
Materials for Mason Jar Terrariums
- Mason jar
- Pebbles
- Planting soil
- Small succulent (these plants require very little water)
- Seashells, twigs, figures, etc.
Directions for Making Mason Jar Terrariums
1. Place a layer of rocks on the bottom of the mason jar to allow for drainage. Put a layer of soil over the rocks, and poke a little hole in the soil with your finger.
2. Plant the succulent in the little hole and fill it in with a little more soil.
3. Add your figurine or other elements.
